    I have reasonable Bugs here.













    2 cents each for a bed bug. For $320 you can have a bag full.

    I like but...

    I can buy an actual fossilised, one-of-a-kind trilobite that is millions of years old for a fraction of the cost of that coin. And I know which I would prefer.

    By the way, CIT Ammonite is a great coin selling today at top prices. Is that a series? Any news about next one?

    The CIT Evolution is a series, yes.
    If it follows the course of last years ammonite, the next one should be up for pre-order in August.
    The CIT ammonite is indeed a beauty.
    Don't be surprised if CIT's choice for their second coin was planned to be a trilobite.
    I'm a bit surprised at the Polish mint coming out with this trilobite.
    They are well known for innovative stuff themselves, they didn't need to go down the copycat road.
